7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein forming the transfer template comprises: providing a base layer; and forming a metallic layer on the base layer, wherein the plurality of transfer units are formed on the metallic layer.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein forming a plurality of transfer units comprises: forming a transfer layer on the metallic layer; and forming the plurality of transfer units by patterning the transfer layer.
9. A method for manufacturing a display substrate, comprising: forming the material to be transferred on a transfer template comprising: a transfer substrate; and a plurality of transfer units arranged on the transfer substrate and spaced apart from one another, wherein an adhesive force between the plurality of transfer units and the material to be transferred is configured to be larger than another adhesive force between the transfer substrate and the material to be transferred; forming a base substrate on a surface of which a functional layer is formed; aligning the transfer template with the base substrate; laminating the material to be transferred which is formed on the transfer template, onto the functional layer of the base substrate; and removing the transfer template to leave the material to be transferred which is located among the plurality of transfer units to be adhered to the functional layer, wherein a third adhesive force between the material to be transferred and the functional layer is set to be smaller than the adhesive force between the plurality of transfer units and the material to be transferred, and to be larger than the another adhesive force between the transfer substrate of the transfer template and the material to be transferred, and wherein gaps are formed between adjacent ones of the plurality of transfer units to space them apart from one another, and are filled up with the material to be transferred.
10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein a material of the plurality of transfer units carries first functional groups and the material to be transferred is a quantum dot material, and prior to forming the material to be transferred on the transfer template, the method further comprising: processing the quantum dot material by a ligand-exchange reaction such that the quantum dot material carries hydrophobic units; and modifying the quantum dot material carrying the hydrophobic units such that the hydrophobic units carry second functional groups, wherein in response to the plurality of transfer units being in contact with the material to be transferred, the first functional groups and the second functional groups attract each other.
